Search and return. It's the $20 they want, not the specific dimes.

Gotta stop hitting enter instead of return. Good deeds can never be undone. Bad ones follow you, even if only you know.

@Kefiroth I work in a bank and if the teller is off, by that much, it's no big lose to them athough it would go on his or her record as a revenue lost but its not a sugnificant amount but the human thing to do is return the difference. I'm sure the teller would really appreciate it.

No question in my mind ... it's not yours ... so return them.

You'll be glad you did ... and sleep better at night as well.

I'd return the extra for the sake of the teller, and because it is the right thing to do. "Bank" and "morality" are two words that do not belong in the same sentence though. Conjuring "money" out of thin air and loaning it to people who will be forced to spend a good portion of their adult lives paying it back is perhaps one of the greatest scams ever conceived.

take them back or call the branch to see how they want to handle it.

somewhat related: grocery shopping early in the week, I picked up 3 cases of bottled water, when I got home I noticed the cashier only charged for 1 case. I went back and paid for the other 2 cases. It doesn't matter if the store expects loses or the cashier was not faulted by the store, I felt better being honest and paying for what I received

I agree. Take them back. It's only $20 but just this act will add points to your integrity and might get you far more in return in the long run. eg. tellers holding coins for you; letting you know when something interesting has arrived etc..

And if nothing comes of it, it just feels good and you can walk into the bank and still look the tellers in the eyes.
